World's 1st Shirt Made from Milk

Very Advanced Shirt
The Limitless Milk Shirt is a world first: the first shirt made from uncycled, waste milk. The company behind it, Mi Terro, says the shirt is three times softer than cotton, odor free, anti-bacterial, temperature regulatory, wrinkle resistant, breathable and stretches in every direction to move in sync with your body. Mi Terro is a Los Angeles based startup.

Fabric from Milk
Here's how they create a fabric from milk. They obtain waste milk usually from dairies. They ferment it, skim off the fat and dewater it, which results in powdered milk. They extract the casein protein, immerse it in alkali, clean it, produce fabric and spin it into yarn. The company says every five shirts save a glass of milk from being wasted.

Company with a Point of View
Mi Terro manufactures the shirts in China but says it pays its Chinese workers, more than 50% of which are women, above that of China's fair wage factories. They say every 100 Milk Shirts sold provides a job to a local worker. Furthermore, they plant 10 trees for every shirt sold because they're committed to reforestation. Mi Terro is on Kickstarter in the fundraising stage to ramp up production. It's a very innovative product and an innovative way to repurpose waste milk.

Superstar Robot PackersSuperstar Customers
The Italian packaging company CMC in the medieval town of Citta di Castello has robot machines at the cutting edge of 2019 filling some very big orders for big clients and it delivers. The robotic packaging machine is called CartonWrap. It can box and seal 600 to 1000 items of every shape and size every hour, 24/7, including in tailor made boxes. Clients of the automated packaging machines include Amazon, Walmart and Gucci.

Big Business in Italy
CMC and CartonWrap are one of 630 companies in Italy making automated packaging machines. This is the new robotic, automated economy and it is one of Italy's fastest growing industries. In fact, the sector is accelerating 9X's faster than the overall Italian economy. It's another example of robotic technology cutting time, costs and in this case packaging waste and creating a whole new avenue of global business that's a disruptor.

1st Test for CTE, Sports-Related, Traumatic Brain Injuries in the LivingBreakthrough Research and Discoveries by Boston University Scientists
CTE is the danger for players inherent in any contact sport. Repeated hard hits to and rattling of the
head in the course of games taking a cumulative toll and resulting in traumatic brain injury CTE which is a fatal disease. Until now, there was no way to detect it in the living. The only reference points for doctors were changes in mood and behavior in the patient following a bad hit to the head and concussion.. But now, there is a brain scan test to detect the abnormal protein tau which is an indicator that the disease condition is present. It's an important breakthrough just announced by scientists at Boston University.

Biostatis
The program is to buy extra time for soldiers' battlefield injuries as they await medical care. DARPA, the Pentagon's Advanced Research Projects Agency, is working to develop treatments that slow down the body's biochemical reactions, tipping it into a slowed or suspended state until medical help arrives. For those critically injured, time is a matter of life and death.

Biological Suspended State
This program is inspired by nature. Wood frogs and microscopic creatures called "water bears" can survive extreme radiation, dehydration and freezing. They do so by entering a state called cryptobiosis. All metabolic processes appear to have stopped but the organism is still alive.

Long Term Research
This DARPA program is just getting started. They're beginning at the cell and tissue level. Then they'll scale up to the whole organism. It will be considered a success when it sl…
